Needlepoint Finishing Class with Pat Mazu

Derby Stitchers ANG Chapter Presents Pat Mazu Class

This past weekend I was fortunate enough to attend a class on finishing taught by Pat Mazu and sponsored by the Derby Stitchers of Louisville, KY.

We had a nice crowd and everyone was enjoying themselves. It seemed that everyone was successful in finishing some things they brought.

I brought some of my Nativity pieces designed by Joan Thomasson and a stitch guide by Debby Powell Franklin. There were picture frames, small stocking ornaments, large stockings, stand ups, pillows, eggs, and on and on.

I think the biggest thrill experienced by many was successful cord making. We made our own cord and rope for the items we brought. We have a wide variety of “tools” from which to choose to make these cords.

The atmosphere and camaraderie was very stimulating. We all got to know each other a little more and enjoyed our meals together and helping each other out with our projects.

Pat is an excellent teacher and if you ever have the opportunity to be a part of one of her classes seize the moment! The chapter has already invited her to return!
